Mansfield, Mass. – Le Moyne College junior John Clare (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) has been named the Northeast-10 Conference men's Golfer of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday afternoon.

Clare, who was honored as the NE-10 Golfer of the Week for the third time this year and for the fifth time in his career, averaged a 72.25 over four rounds at two events last week. He opened the Spring season by placing in a tie for 11th with a six-over par 148 at Villanova's Wildcat Invitational, which consisted of 20 Division I institutions plus Le Moyne. He recorded a 73 on Monday and followed with a 75 on Tuesday. He then earned medalist honors at Dowling's Peter King Memorial with a one-over par 143 to lead the Dolphins to a first-place finish. He registered a two-under par 69 in the first round and carded a 74 on Saturday to claim first place by one stroke.

Through 15 rounds over eight this year, Clare has placed in the top-five at six events, has been under par in six rounds and carries a 72.4 scoring average, the best by a Dolphin over the last 11 seasons.

The Dolphins return to the links on Sunday and Monday as they host the Mike Bello Invitational at Timber Banks Golf Club in Baldwinsville.
